Sharad Kumar is not a leader of the DMK, he is the Chief Executive of Kalaignar TV owned by Kanimozhi and her family.
'Kanimozhi' does not mean 'sweet language', it means 'one who always has sweet words'.

If everyone starts taking bribes, then where is the end. Punishment should be severe for the top notch only then the bottom cadres will stop thinking about it. Even the current chief minister of Tamil Nadu, also need to be tried like this.

Kanimozhi is the daughter and probably the youngest child of the DMK party chief Karunanidhi, who is an evil genius, gifted with language and film script writing, but he was thrown out of office in light of the huge sums of money they have swindled using Raja and Kanimozhi as pawns. Karunanidhi is the archetypal megalomaniac with multiple wives and several rogue children many of whom have made the political party their family estate. Karunanidhi is a demagogue with no charisma but with the gift of language but used to sow disunity amongst his own people. The self avowed non believer and rationalist is full of contradictions. But his legacy is looting the public exchequer. I hope the courts are objective and the legal process surfaces every single scoundrel and scum bag in this mother of all scandals in the nation's history. Spare no sympathy to those who want to hide behind the innocent looking Kanimozhi -- you only have to remind yourselves of the money swindled. This sort of white collar crime which is breach of public trust is beyond the pale of democratic decency.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Finally an era of contaminating a generation with unethical human rights violation is coming to an end. Now comes the true test of whether the Indian Judicial system is able to hold these thugs in prison and extract further information on how deep this corruption goes.
